There are as many different training methods out there as there are trainers and I think it is important that the trainer share your philosophy of dog discipline just as you would want a nanny to share your philosophy of child rearing.
Praise and positive reinforcements are the key. Did you interview the trainer at length and did he explain his philosophy and methodology before you signed the contract? If not, then you can get out of the contract if you do not agree with his training methods or feel he is a bad match for you and your baby. Any trainer worth his salt will not hold you to a "contract" if you disagree with their methods. They should want a good match as much as you do.
Pm me if you need help getting out of the contract or if I can help further. |
